Musings from Maine

PART II

Linda, Riley and I went up the Maine coast toward Canada these past several days. We had a great time. But, here, read Riley's post about it. She does a much better job at it than I ever could:

Trip to St. John, Canada

(Here are all the pictures)

I just returned from a quite enjoyable trip to St. John, Canada, with my grandparents. (Mama and Papa) It was a very nice road trip for all of us. The first place we went to was the United State's tallest observation tower. Me, Papa, and Mama all took a elevator trip to the top. It was amazing! It was definitely worth the stomach jitters. Mama bravely took the lift down--which i thought was going to break down it was so slow. Not to mention Papa accidentally opened the emergency exit door!! It set off a stunningly loud, scary siren alarm. It made me nearly faint with shock when i heard it. The person who was supervising was terribly mad. After that me and Papa (the brave ones) went to a historic fort. (we had to buy a flashlight as instructed) AND IT WAS THE MOST SPECTACULAR FORT I EVER PUT FOOT IN!!

Next we went to Campobello Island and visited Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer cottage. Luckily, i am a HUGE Roosevelt fan. Yep, it was probably the most awesome thing i ever did go to in my entire life. We got to see original furniture, for Pete's sake! In "The museum room" they had his hat he always wore,which was in pretty good shape.

Then we stayed in a very enjoyable hotel "Holiday Express" where a very nice lady assigned us to the Jungle room because she liked kids. The Jungle room had a very nice system. The lamps were pineapples, i had a bunk bed and my own room, and there were leaves and animals all over--even in the master bedroom--and i slept fine. Except when Mama scared the heck out of me! I was having a stirred stomach in the middle of the night that woke me up, so i was constantly in and out of the bathroom, and Mama caught me going back in to my room, and told me i couldn't get up anymore and i NEEDED TO GO TO SLEEP or i'd get it. Anyway, me and Mama swam in the public pool (we had it to ourselves) and had great fun. Well, it was all very fun. And i'm glad i was able to go!
